Right then.
Jul. 12th, 2004 08:39 pmIt's been nearly a three weeks since our last incident, which means we'll probably have another Earth-shattering drama of some kind soon. We're even getting a new instructor, which in my experience means that we will have either soldiers or the mafia in quite short order. (Also, everyone seems very excited about the new instructor. What's the big deal?) Hoping for the mafia; I have some very strongly-phrased things to say to them which may or may not involve a blunt object or ten.
My vote, however, goes to Thursday, and vampires. We haven't had any vampires; they've got to show up sooner or later. Perhaps they'll be Canadian vampires, fitting in with our new arrival. I am not sure they exist, but they probably do in some form; of course, I have never met one personally. (Vampires, that is, not Canadians.)
I'm off for a run outside, since it's gorgeous out. Having weather that goes by the actual course of nature is fantastic.

Date: 2004-07-12 08:06 pm (UTC)Now that you mention it, though, I would really, really like a videotape of Professor Xavier saying "Make it so." I wonder if we can bribe him.

Date: 2004-07-12 08:12 pm (UTC)I think Professor Xavier drinks the same kind of tea as the character on the television.

Date: 2004-07-12 08:23 pm (UTC)Now I'm talking like the television. No more television for me; books give good advice, like, "in case of giant planet-destroying space station, run and hide."

Date: 2004-07-12 08:50 pm (UTC)Star Wars taught you all this?
no subject
Date: 2004-07-12 08:51 pm (UTC)That, and "Always let the Wookiee win." Very important, that.

Date: 2004-07-12 08:56 pm (UTC)We seriously need to get you watching these movies.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-12 09:08 pm (UTC)Watching them might rid me of the vague sensation that I have no idea what's going on.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-12 09:11 pm (UTC)At least as far as I know. I haven't actually been to any other galaxies, but the Wookiee in the movie was a guy in a suit.
You doing anything tomorrow?
no subject
Date: 2004-07-12 09:26 pm (UTC)Tomorrow? Beyond trying to break an hour and a half of running (I seem to have plateau'd a bit on that score), nothing much.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-12 09:40 pm (UTC)Running seems to be kinda popular all of a sudden. Maybe I should start, I've been kinda worried I'm getting out of shape.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-12 10:13 pm (UTC)Well, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm running because I have become hideously out of shape and given the hand life has dealt me, I feel it is strongly necessary for me to be able to both fend for myself and run very fast. Also, the terrain here is very nice, and lends itself to quiet thinking.

I wonder if Doug speaks Klingon?

Re: ...
Date: 2004-07-12 08:13 pm (UTC)But if he can get a couple more books out of the guy while he's at it, I say resurrect away.

Date: 2004-07-12 11:36 pm (UTC)And vampires are so 90s! I'm putting my money on a mad scientist threatening to send the world back to the ice age. Or time travel! Yeah, we haven't had any time travellers yet. I'm voting for the madman from the future who tries to destroy the mansion to prevent his world's history.
